Chapter 80: High One Achievement

"Cao Cao." Gao Yigong said with a bit of gritted teeth.

At this moment, Gao Yigong's face is full of wind and frost, and he seems to be much older than at the beginning, but he is also much more mature. He already has the temperament of a general.

Along the way, he was bitten by Heluohui and Meng Qiaofang and fought for thousands of miles, there were victories and defeats, and some places were still among the mountains, what kind of difficulties and obstacles had not been seen. Along the way, you will face pursuers, the harsh natural environment, and all kinds of betrayals. This experience has given Gao Yigong a lot of growth. Many times before, Gao Yigong was at the behest of Li Zicheng, and it was a very valuable exercise to stand alone in such a difficult situation.

Of course, the premise is that Gao Yigong has passed this hurdle, otherwise it will be his dead end.

But even now, Gao Yigong still can't accept this fact well. That is Li Zicheng's death.

In fact, after the fall of Xi'an, when Gao Yigong was alone in Yan'an, he prepared for the worst, but later intermittently heard that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai joined forces and resisted the pursuit of the Qing army in Xiangyang. He breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel like this thing is over.

So after joining forces with the party guard, the soldiers marched eastward, defeated He Jin, and opened the passage to Huguang. It was to join forces with Li Zicheng, and even said that Gao Yigong is now commanding an army of 100,000 people, many of whom gathered together based on their trust in Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng's death shook the foundation of this 100,000-strong army.

After Gao Yigong was angry, he was a little more panicked for no reason.

He worked hard to open up the road to join forces with Li Zicheng, but he didn't want Li Zicheng to be dead, how should he go on the road after that? Gao Yigong is no longer accurate.

Defection to the Qing court is absolutely impossible. The feud between the two sides is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible to take refuge in the Xia Dynasty, and Li Zicheng's death is separated from it and takes refuge in Zhang Xianzhong. Not to mention that the relationship between Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong is not very good.

Before, the two sides were okay, but after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he appointed the envoy of Sichuan Jiedu to take charge of Sichuan. At that time, most of Sichuan was in the hands of Zhang Xianzhong, and it was obvious that he wanted to receive Zhang Xianzhong's power. At that time, Zhang Xianzhong was the prince of Dashun.

But this prince is in name. Zhang Xianzhong saw that Li Zicheng was so arrogant, and he really thought that he was his courtier, so he turned his face with Li Zicheng. There were several skirmishes between each other in southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, but they were all battles of less than 10,000 people, and Li Dingguo thwarted the actions of the Dashun army.

Behind it was a battle of stones.

It can be said that if there is no Dongyu, Li Zicheng's next goal is probably Sichuan, first pacify Zhang Xianzhong, and then go straight down the river to pacify Jiangnan.

It's just that it's not as it is

Fruit.

But now this little grudge and friction is nothing. But the reason why Gao Yigong didn't want to defect was that he was not optimistic about Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong's current situation in Sichuan is not very good. It can't be said that everyone betrayed their relatives, but it was a bit stormy, and it couldn't be compared with Great Xia. So if Gao Yigong could, he didn't want to defect to Zhang Xianzhong.

"General Gao, how are we doing now?" Dang Shousu asked.

After the defeat of Gao Yigong in Ningxia, he gathered the remnants of the army, and gathered the armed forces of the Qing army in the northwest, it can be said that after a reorganization, don't look at the current 100,000 people, but now these 100,000 people, compared with the tens of thousands of people in Yan'an, there is no way to compare.

Among the 100,000 people, there are only 50,000 soldiers, and among the 50,000 soldiers, there are only 30,000 descendants of Gao Yigong, and there are about more than 10,000 party guards, and the rest are all miscellaneous armies that rely on Gao Yigong. However, the northwest has always produced generals, and even if it is a ragtag army, it still has a little combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Gao Yigong cannot ignore the party's opinion.

"Now that the situation is unclear, we should be cautious." Gao Yigong's tone was very calm, as if it was not him who was angry just now, and said, "Let's stay in Hanzhong for a while." ”

During this period of time, the main force of the Qing army in Shaanxi was only the headquarters of the Heluohui, plus the surrendered army. There are a lot of people, but the Qing army does not dare to trust these surrendered troops more, for no other reason, these surrendered troops can rebel and break into the camp, and they can also rebel against them.

Therefore, the general policy of the Qing army was to calm down, reorganize the army, and eliminate shortages. According to the actual number of people, they were reorganized into green battalion soldiers. So after driving Gao Yigong out of the northwest, he didn't have the energy to chase more, and He Jin was a relative of He Renlong, first descended to break through, and then descended to Qing, this kind of energy has made He Jin develop a habit, although he is now hanging the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but he may not take it seriously in his heart.

And the Qing court seems to know. Therefore, he didn't care whether He Jin lived or died for a while. And after He Jin's defeat, he could only survive and did not dare to attack. During this period of time in Hanzhong, it is safe.

"General Gao," Dang Shousu said: "There is a shortage of food in the army, and Hanzhong is not a place to stay for a long time, so let's make plans early." People can't be resurrected after death, the living should think about the living, General Gao doesn't think about himself, but also Mrs. Gao. ”

As soon as Gao Yigong heard it, he knew what it meant to be a party guard.

Who to fight the world with is not big, many people follow Li Zicheng, of course, because of Li Zicheng's personality charm, but also for the possible glory and wealth in the future, Li Zicheng died, and he may not be sad and sorry in his heart, but more importantly, what should I do in the future?

There are not many people who are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty, let alone Dashun.

Moreover, Luo Rucai's Cao Ying is not an outsider to many peasant soldiers. For many people who know Luo Rucai and Li Zi

became a person with grievances, Luo Rucai took Li Zicheng away when he died, and he can even understand it. In this way, the desperate thoughts for Li Zicheng will fade.

Gao Yigong couldn't do it, and Li Zicheng treated him very well. After all, Gao Yigong still has to call Li Zicheng an uncle, although this kind of kinship is not too close, but it is not estranged. Why did Gao Yigong and Li Guo become rising stars in the camp, how could it be possible without Li Zicheng's promotion?

Perhaps it is the limitations of the leaders of the peasant army, the next generation of generals they trained are all related to them, Li Guo cultivated by Li Zicheng, Gao Yigong, are all relatives. And the four righteous sons cultivated by Zhang Xianzhong, a son and a son-in-law cultivated by Luo Rucai.

Even if Gao Yigong doesn't miss Li Zicheng's kindness to him, he still has to think about the constant relationship between him and Li Zicheng. After he defected to the Xia Dynasty, could he really be reused? Gao Yigong was skeptical.

But the party doesn't have to think about it so much.

The northwest is a barren land, and when the army crosses, the local food cannot be supported many times, so they can only eat dry food. After arriving in Hanzhong, although a batch of grain was replenished, the quantity was not much, and what Dang Shousu said was not much grain, but it was the truth.

Gao Yigong said: "I know, the party general is a little restless. ”

"Report." While the two were talking, one of them came to report and said, "There is a request to see you outside the camp, and it is said that it is the messenger of the Marquis." ”

When Gao Yigong heard this, he suddenly moved, and the so-called Haohou was Li Guo's title in Dashun. Gao Yigong said secretly: "But I don't know if Hao Hou can bring me some news." ”

But after a while, I saw a person kneeling on the ground, and when he saw it, he said, "Hao Shaoqi is you?" ”

Hao Shaoqi said: "It is a humble position, and the Marquis has a letter to General Gao. ”

Gao Yigong took the letter and asked Hao Shaoqi to take it down, after he opened the letter, he read it carefully, his face was red and black, red was anger, and black was extremely gloomy. Dang Shousu asked softly on the side, "But I don't know what happened to the marquis?" ”

Gao Yigong handed the letter to Dang Shousu and said, "What does the party general think? ”

After Dang Shousu saw it, he pondered for a while, and then glanced at Gao Yigong, he felt Gao Yigong's resistance to the Xia Dynasty, and said secretly in his heart: "Although this strategy is a bit risky, it is not good to break with General Gao for this matter." ”

"The last general has no objection, General Gao can decide." Dang Shousu said.

"Okay." Gao Yigong said: "In this case, the army marched east and attacked Yunyang City. And sent messengers to recruit Yunyang mountain people. Make a big noise, I'm going to touch Yunyang City and see what he looks like. ”

Dang Shousu said: "Yes." ”

With Gao Yigong's order, the Dashun West Route Army stranded in Hanzhong moved violently.
